https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/26/berlin-pride-parade-fatal-attack/ What?! Someone had to say it, it might as well be me(!) I'm certainly familiar with people born in that part of the World letting others go on assuming they're some sort of non-specific Latin American Hispanic. As the moment that illusion is broken and they're educated about Israel, the anti-Semitic abuse starts. Then, a fraction of a second later, the moment arrives where I have to start with the punching. Now, I'm not totally averse to the punching. However, apparently, no-one needs all that when we're all just trying to have a good time. Meh, hardly an unusual month. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2019/12/khanistan-police-still-racist.html Still not a great day though(!) *tuts* It's be a lot more romantic if he just nutted up and got the f'ck over it though(!) https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/24/selena-gomez-vacation-photos/ Let's not dismiss deep-seated, historical trauma so easi...

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/no-wild-animal-will-go-near-chlorinated.html By which I mean I picked up two small objects. Then put them down again. One of the objects was a large saucepan I'd been keeping in the gym. The other was a bit of a brick I had laying around outside. I put the bit of a brick in the saucepan and poured Chlorinated water over them. Initially no animal would go anywhere near them. However after the Chlorine evaporating in the sun for a while one Fox was brave enough to take a little sip. The build up of Algae, along with that Fox not dropping down dead, means they're now going through about 3 pints a day. Obviously this was driven by appeasement, rather than altruism. I thought an available supply of surface water would reduce the need for well digging. It has. However I'm now back into that moral dilemma of whether making life too easy for wild animals risks turning them into domesticated animals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Generally I take a laissez faire attitude to nature.  So I'm not going to go to the trouble of digging up my lawns to overlay the soil with gravel. In order to protect the soil from desertification and allow whatever scarce rainwater there is to percolate into drinking water. However, by the same token, if my lawns are going to turn into barren, rocky wastelands. Then I'm not going to waste good drinking water in a futile effort to try and stop them. As a result quite a few of my lawns have quite a few bare patches in them. This also the result of Global Warming, but not the effect you're thinking of. In what we call Winter these days there's still not enough sunlight for grass to grow. However there is s...

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/smoked.html Although I'm struggling to grow grass in my green haven these days. The enthusiastic gang of well diggers are really only a symptom of the problem. Hmm. Perhaps it's time more than one person apologised for the Paris Agreement(!) https://news.sky.com/video/the-race-to-stop-wildfires-in-france-spreading-13567223

https://news.sky.com/video/what-do-we-know-about-the-berlin-pride-attack-suspect-13567229 Although I've been more in the mood for Test Cricket today, i.e watching the grass grow, I'm not totally offended by The Hundred™ series. It's not quite Cricket. However it does have the central elements of Cricket, in a very watchable 100 ball dash. That's despite the current four seasons of; "Animal Control" being available on the Sky streaming platform. The program sponsor being Sky's version of a Ring ™ doorbell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kMfTYPzSnI (Block Rockin' Beats, The Chemical Brothers, Official Audio).
